I'm 34 and jobless. I am deeply resentful towards the so called 'work ethic'. Here's why...

Here's why I feel so deeply resentful towards the system, that I am as deeply reluctant to serve it:

First off, it is so stressful and monotonous competing with hundreds / thousands of other wannabe slaves, that you are forced to constantly upgrade skills and sell yourself more (beg harder). It is degrading to beg to be someone else' slave.

Second, if you manage to get an interview, you are heavily interrogated.

Third, if you make it through the interrogation procedure they now own you and they can talk to you like shit and force you to slave away as hard as they like. Not so? Disobey your boss or argue back, you will find yourself penniless and homeless in no time.

Fourth, you are forced to work with people who may be absolute assholes and there's no escape.

Fifth, you take the stress of a job home with you and your mind is swamped with work schedules. so you cannot truly relax - ever.

Sixth, all of your freedoms are removed from the moment you leave school to the moment you retire. You are forced to work 8 hours per day - Monday to Friday - until your youth has gone forever. In fact, your freedoms are removed as soon as you start school.

Seventh, you are deceived into thinking that you are entitled to two days of freedom, but you are so stressed from the previous 5 days of slavery you just want to sleep in on Saturday. Then you spend Saturday night getting drunk to blot out your miserable existence. Sunday is spent sleeping in and feeling like shit from a hangover.

Eighth, constant toiling away and being handed heavy schedules age you prematurely, not to mention stressing the immune system.

Ninth, you cannot live a self sufficient lifestyle legally independent of the system because if you build a log cabin anywhere, so you can fish / hunt or grow crops for food, the system's henchmen will destroy your home and imprison you.

Tenth, you are a tax generating automaton who exists to swell the moneyboxes of the elite.

There you have it -- the big pink elephant is not staring you in the face from the far corner of the room, it is sitting on you and crushing you with it's enormous weight, yet the world is in collective denial over this very obvious fact. Why? Because slavery is all they understand.

That's why I hate the system and refuse to serve it.

True, it's a slave system no doubt. With the biggest b*tches being able to PARTIALLY skip over some of the negative effects of said system. In return for contributing to the suppression of those at the bottom of the pile. Simple.

I totally agree, but I have to point out that it was broken to mass amounts of people in the movie Matrix in 1999. :)

"You are a SLAVE, Neo..."

Yes, I'm going to build a secret underground bunker in a beautiful national park, so they'll never find it. I've learned lots of bushcraft / fishing skills also.

I'll be waking up to beautiful mountain / lake views and never worry about rent / mortgages or being homeless again.

join the non profit organizations :)

This is the reason the world is going to fail…this OP and attitude shows why

1st …. Its called competition ….yes you have to upgrade your skills its called working for something

2nd…. Manage to get an interview? Why not become a needed skill set …. You might have an advantage then

3rd…. slave away? Ok Mr the glass is half full…. Pick a carrier that YOU LIKE!

4TH… Maybe you are the asshole at work?

5th…if you can’t handle stress be a garbage collector …not much stress

6th… see answer number 3

7th… see answer number 3 again

8th…see answer number 5

9th… you might want to up your meds

10th…this one I agree on

Nobody is forcing you man.

If you hate the job market, start a business.

Invest $ and live on dividends.

There are other ways to live beside depending upon a job.

Internet is filled with $ making opportunities.

Hey who doesn't hate the system, get used to it buddy.

My advice, try finding a job you actually enjoy, it makes things a whole lot easier.

I took 8 month holiday last year because I could and just relaxed, quite honestly it gets boring and anti-social pretty quickly, there are REASONS the system has been designed. One of them is to handle our human psyche, since very few of us can cope without a routine.

Give the general populous a tonne of money and no need to work, I bet you they end up drinking themselves stupid or taking on some other kind of bad habit. The system to an extent isnt all bad, just a lot of it is.
